    What can I use old kegs for?

    I use a few half kegs as my primary and secondary fermenter. Gravity fed from the keg fermenter to my corny kegs. They work great and allow me to brew and ferment 10 gal batches.

    XX Amber Clone

    I wanted to brew this for Cinco De Mayo , but my LHBS didnt have any carafa or dark munich. It had light munich , if I add 2 lbs of the light munich , would that be sufficient? I have some roasted barley , I could add 1 or 2 oz. for color, but I think it might add too much bitterness/...

    My red blowing up!

    I usually use nottingham english ale yeast and it gets pretty wild for 2 days then drops off considerably. Always use a blow off tube.I use a 2 liter soda bottle with a hole drilled in the cap (drill the hole a little bigger than your tubing so co2 can escape). I fill the soda bottle half full...

    specific gravity too high to bottle?

    This batch has been fermenting at 62F for 2 weeks . I'm thinking the temp. was too low and should have let it go another week. But since I put in the priming sugar , I bottled it in 16oz bottles and left a little bit more head space . Hope it works out ok. The bottled Amber is in the same place...

    Electric turkey fryer

    That was my thought, propane no problem , electric needs a huge heating element to boil. I use electric immersion heaters in my biodiesel processing . The electric element would burn the wort while trying to keep a rolling boil. Propane spreads the heat over the entire bottom surface of the brew...
